One day, the three-year-old child Useppe and his kitten simply disappear without a trace. No one knows what has happened. Useppe’s mother, Femmina Balba, hears the kitten’s constant cries and follows them everywhere, searching for her son.
In this one-person play, Hamed Taheri takes his audience on a trip through the modern world, whose state is unsparingly revealed in Femmina Balba’s search for her son. But what can be infinitely destroyed can infinitely survive. Femmina Balba is like a mosaic of quotes originating in works by Rilke, Dostoyevsky, Carderon, Himmler, Benjamin, Goethe and Shakespeare. In the end, what has happened to Useppe remains an open question.
